TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to the cannabis industry. In particular, thisdisclosure relates to water soluble cannabinoid formulations, includingmethods for creating said water soluble cannabinoid formulations.

BACKGROUND

The word “cannabis” refers to a genus of flowering plants. Plants ofgenus cannabis include several species, including Cannabis sativa,Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. There is a long history ofcultivating plants of genus cannabis for hemp fibers, seeds and seedoils, medicinal purposes, and recreational activities.

According to some accounts, cannabis is composed of at least 483 knownchemical compounds, which include cannabinoids, terpenoids, flavonoids,nitrogenous compounds, amino acids, proteins, glycoproteins, enzymes,sugars and related compounds, hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes,ketones, acids, fatty acids, esters, lactones, steroids, terpenes,non-cannabinoid phenols, vitamins, and pigments.

Cannabinoids are of particular interest for research andcommercialization. Most extractions of cannabis plant matter aim toextract cannabinoids, particularly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC isuseful for relieving pain, treating glaucoma, and relieving nausea. THCis also gaining immense popularity as a recreational drug substance.Usually, cannabinoids are extracted from the cannabis plant as part of acrude mixture, combined with other chemical compounds found in thecannabis plant.

Current methods of administration cannabinoids fail to take fulladvantage of cannabinoid properties. For example, burning plant matterand inhaling the vapor does not allow for selection of certaincannabinoids for their certain desired benefit. One can choose a plantwith certain known properties, e.g., THC content, but there is stilllittle to no control over selecting individual cannabinoids. Inhalingsmoke also leads to many harmful and toxic compounds introduced into thebody.

There exists a need for new cannabinoid formulations. In particular,there exists a need for water soluble cannabinoid formulations.Additionally, there exists a need for methods for producing aqueouscannabinoid formulations. Furthermore, there exists a need for makingformulations with increased permeability into the bloodstream. Also,there also exists a need for cannabis formulations which provideincreased bioavailability of cannabinoids.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Disclosed herein are new cannabinoid formulations, including watersoluble cannabinoid formulations. In one embodiment, the formulationsdisclosed herein are used for creating other new formulations. In oneembodiment, the formulations disclosed herein are soluble in otherliquids, e.g., aqueous liquids such as juices, soft drinks, wine,cocktails, medicinal preations, coffee, tea, etc.

Disclosed herein are methods of making formulations with increasedpermeability into the bloodstream. Also disclosed herein are cannabisformulations, which provide increased bioavailability of cannabinoids.

Disclosed herein is a new composition comprising a first purifiedcannabinoid and Vitamin E TPGS.

As used herein, the term “purified” means extracted, isolated, and/orseparated from other compounds, formulations, compositions, matter,and/or mass. In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to acannabinoid that is separated from the plant matter from which it wasderived.

In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a cannabinoid (a“purified cannabinoid”) that is separated from other cannabinoids thatwere present in the plant matter from which it was derived. In oneembodiment, the term “purified” refers to a cannabinoid (a “purifiedcannabinoid”) that is separated from terpenes that were present in theplant matter from which it was derived. In one embodiment, the term“purified” refers to a cannabinoid (a “purified cannabinoid”) that isseparated from secondary compounds that were present in the plant matterfrom which it was derived. In one embodiment, the term “purified” refersto a cannabinoid (a “purified cannabinoid”) that is separated from allmaterial that was present in the plant matter from which it was derived.

In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a terpene (a “purifiedterpene”) that is separated from other cannabinoids that were present inthe plant matter from which it was derived. In one embodiment, the term“purified” refers to a terpene (a “purified terpene”) that is separatedfrom terpenes that were present in the plant matter from which it wasderived. In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a terpene (a“purified terpene”) that is separated from secondary compounds that werepresent in the plant matter from which it was derived. In oneembodiment, the term “purified” refers to a terpene (a “purifiedterpene”) that is separated from all material that was present in theplant matter from which it was derived.

Within the context of this disclosure, purified compounds may bepurposely formulated with other compounds at various levels of purity.For example, depending on the desired outcome, a particular cannabinoidand/or terpene may be formulated with other molecules when it is 60-65%pure, 65-70% pure, 70-75% pure, 75-80% pure, 80-85% pure, 85-90% pure,90-95% pure, 95-99% pure, 99-99.9% pure, 99.9+%, or greater than 99%pure.

In oneembodiment, the cannabinoid affects the activity of other compounds atone or more receptors by acting as an agonist, partial agonist, inverseagonist, antagonist, etc.

In many cases, a cannabinoid can be identified because its chemical namewill include the text string “*cannabi* in the name.

THC, CBD, and THCV were purified, via chromatography, from a plant ofgenus cannabis, resulting in a clear, slightly yellow oil.Beta-Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Terpineol were each purified fromplant matter via chromatography. The purified terpenes were added to thecannabis oil. The final cannabinoid and terpene oil weighed 5.00 grams.

In a separate container 20.0 g of Vitamin E TPGS was measured. Thecannabinoid and terpene oil was combined with Vitamin E TPGS in a heatproof beaker and placed on a hot plate. The mixture was heated to 80degrees Celsius. After the mixture reached 80 degrees Celsius, water wasadded while stirring until the mixture turned into a viscous, amorphousmass. The beaker was removed from the hot plate and the mixture allowedto cool to room temperature while stirring resulting in an aqueoussolution.
